Mixtures

The document explains the concept of mixtures, distinguishing between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, with examples like vinegar and salad. It also describes solutions, saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions, as well as colloids and suspensions, highlighting their properties and examples. Overall, it provides a foundational understanding of how different substances combine and behave in mixtures.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not
chemically combined. In a mixture, the substances retain their individual
chemical properties and can be physically separated from each other.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In a
solution, the different components are uniformly distributed throughout
the mixture, so that the composition and properties of the mixture are the
same throughout.

Colloids are mixtures in which small particles of one substance are evenly
dispersed throughout another substance. These particles are larger than
the particles in a solution, but smaller than those in a suspension.

A suspension is a type of heterogeneous mixture where solid particles or
liquid droplets are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, but are large
enough to settle out over time and can be separated from the mixture by
filtration.
